The party's core values are supposed to be democracy, tolerance and respect. In his introductory speech, Jure Leben also mentioned the closure of Kemis, Eternit, Termite, Ekosistem, the regulation of drinking water in Anhovo, the closure of the Velenje coal mine, the protection of forests and the declaration of an ecological crisis.[4][5] The party would also introduce a tax on sweetened beverages, non-recycled plastics, sustainable forms of transport, decentralization and decarbonisation of Slovenia.
